Chapter 9: The Start of it All

1 year 7 months later (I'm sorry for the really big time skip, but she can't be 16 and pregnant! She can however be 18😂)

TOBIAS POV:

I'm running around like a mad man. First I had to buy the ring. Then I had to set everything up. It's taken a long time but I know it will all be worth it.

Tris lives with me, we work everyday, except for Sunday and Saturday, and don't buy a lot of stuff so I have a lot of money saved for this special occasion.

We know sometime in the past 3 or 4 months I turned 20 and Tris turned 18. I know we are both really young but I just can't call her my girlfriend anymore. She seems so much more than that. I love her with all my heart and I hope and pray she says yes.

By the time I finish setting up everything, I only have 15 minutes till the date starts. Christina has been working on Tris, in Tris's old apartment, which we use for storage. She promised not to tell Tris what I was planing to do. The only people who know are Zeke and Christina.

I hear a knock on the door right when I finished putting my tie on. I open the door to see my beautiful girlfriend, soon to be fiancé, hopefully, standing in the doorway.

"Wow Tris you look amazing. Beyond beautiful." I smile remembering how I say that to her all the time. I can see the blood rush into her cheeks.

"Thanks." She says. "You look great too."

"Thanks. Alright are you ready to go?" I ask taking her hand in one of mine and checking to see if I have the ring in my pocket with the other hand.

She nods and we walk out of our apartment. We make it to the train tracks and jump on. We sit and talk and kiss in the train till it's time to get off. I bring her to the base of the Ferris wheel we climbed two years ago. I smile at the memory. That was the first time I realized I loved her.

There is a picnic set up below the Ferris wheel. We sit down on the blanket and I open up the basket. Inside there is Dauntless cake, hamburgers with ketchup, utensils, a candle with matches, and a small flower in a small vase. I set the flower on the blanket along with the candle lighting it up in only one try.

We eat our food and I'm getting so nervous that I can barley talk.

Come on Tobias get a grip. She's going to notice and question you. I tell myself.

After we finish I pull her into a hug whispering, "I love you." Into her ear.

"I love you too." She says. I place a kiss on top of her head and back away a little bit packing everything up.

That's when it starts.

The Ferris wheel turns on and she watches its lights glow in the night sky as it spins. She is hypnotized, so I take this as my chance, quietly dropping the first note and making a run for it.
